Ipad Mini 299$ - Report Says

According to the breakdown of what the build-of-materials (BOM) cost of the upcoming iPad mini could be, Apple will sell their 7.85-inch tablet for $299 (Without Retina Display)
when it debuts later this year… and still make over $100 in profit on each unit sold. 

Math :
The breakdown was done by blogger Sameer Singh over at Tech-Thoughts.net, based largely upon the existing costs of components used in the iPad 2, Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire.

That’s not a bad way of doing things. Here’s the breakdown of what the sameer thinks the iPad mini would cost to build:



Those numbers are speculation, but if they’re correct, Apple — who won’t sell a product unless they can make a hefty profit off of it — would price the iPad mini at $299 to maintain a greather than 30% gross margin on the device.

Considering Google is selling the Nexus 7 at a loss at $199, which is a price Apple won’t emulate (and, given the iPad’s popularity, a mistake it doesn’t have to make) these numbers look good to us. Read Singh’s full post for more on how he came up with those numbers.

What do you think?
 Is there any chance Apple will sell the iPad mini for less than $299? 
Let us know in the comments. Stay tuned...

IPhone Passbook App - iOS 6

If you’ve been using iOS 6 beta, they you’re probably pretty familiar with the default Passbook screen that prompts you to open the App Store. Prior to iOS 6′s release just a few hours ago, the App Store page wouldn’t load, or at the very most remained blank.   Screenshots from IPhone... Today, all of that changes. If you open the App Store link from the Passbook app, you’ll be presented with a introductory list of apps that currently support the fledgeling venture. The list of the currently supported apps are as follows: Fandango Live Nation Lufthansa MLB.com At Bat Sephora to Go Ticketmaster Walgreens Since the possibility of me using most of those services is low, I decided to take the safe route, and download and install the Walgreens app. I mean, c’mon, there’s a Walgreens on every corner, isn’t there? Upon initially loading the app, I was presented with a pop up outlining the new Passbook integration. It looks like Apple has indeed worked closely with the developers of
